Leave Granada by private minibus for a 6.5-kilometer walk through Los Cahorros, a canyon near Monachil. You will cross hanging bridges, pass waterfalls and tunnels, and learn about local plants and wildlife from an English-speaking guide such as Marcello, Julio, or Emile. The route is family-friendly in places, but narrow sections require crouching, scrambling, and steady footing.

“The tricky parts of the track are not too bad. I was nervous in case things got more challenging- but they didn’t and were all very manageable. The hike is really beautiful, combing river, bush and views from spectacular rock high points. Guide fantastic at ensuring everyone felt safe and enjoying the hike. Thanks Emile”

Leave Granada at 9 a.m. for a small-group hike from 2,500 meters through San Juan Valley to high viewpoints near Tajos del Campanario. Guides such as Jaime pace the climb, explain the plants, rocks, wildlife, and Civil War fortifications, and provide poles or warm layers when available. Bring lunch, water, and sturdy shoes.

“Jaime was a wonderful guide, informative and kind to everyone. He’s clearly a very seasoned hiker / mountaineer, and has the best dog ever by his side with an equal breadth of capability. Even with that, he was able to support the entire group with a range of endurance and skills. The hike itself is no joke, however it is very doable if you have done some hiking with elevation. The terrain is at most minimally technical. Only thing that was a slight hiccup was my partner did not have adequate footwear packed, due to our impression there would be a range of appropriate hiking shoes available. There was only…”
